From best to worst-
Toronto- cleanest city I've ever been to. Beautiful city. Friendly people. Great food. Hockey Hall of Fame. Pittsburgh- a lovable dump New Orleans- The French Quarter is great- food is awesome and so is the music Miami- great food, very walkable, and attractive women everywhere you look Victoria- has a water airport, a cool museum, and great food Harrisburg- I quite like Harrisburg, nice town, very clean San Francisco- beautiful city Seattle-huge clean city with lots of stuff to Buffalo- boring dump Cleveland- dump Baltimore- scary dump Columbus- crackhead central no opinion (been there, but not not enough experience): DC NYC Philly Atlanta Chicago Detroit Denver Dallas |

My favorite city is Nashville, but probably more for sentimental reasons than anything else.

I love lansing and ypsilanti(i think that's how it is spelled in Michigan, top class towns. Lafayette in Indiana is nice however Michigan City, South Bend, and Indianapolis are mediocre. Chicago and Bloominton-Normal in Illinois are nice.

Funny, no one mentioned Omaha!
Also, Mexico City should count as a North American city, no? |

WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU ON WHILE YOU WERE THERE?! CHRIST, THE PLACE FUCKING REEKS OF SHIT AND SEWERS EVERYWHERE! Nowhere NEAR clean!!! My favourites are Montreal- (*****) flat-out best place I've ever been. Great food, GENUINELY clean, good music stores. Toronto- (*****) A multitude of incredible shows, good food as well, good music stores as well. Sudbury- (-*****) SHIT. Barrie- (***.5) Pretty good place, some good stores... not too much... Good memories at a Holiday Inn there, and a great sushi place right beside it! North Bay- (****) Basically a smaller Barrie... but it has a fucking FANTASTIC bagel shop! ...that's about it...

Maybe dirty by Canadian standards, but compared to Cleveland or Buffalo, Toronto is like heaven.

San Francisco
Seattle Portland New York City St. Louis Los Angeles Las Vegas Dallas Denver Oklahoma City and those are the only large North American cities i've been to (unless you count Wichita, but i don't because i grew up there). i've been to Pittsburgh, but it was for my grandmother's funeral. so, i'm not going to put it up just because i have some pretty sad memories attached to it.

New Orleans is horse shit...thats what it smells like...and the food is over-rated...and so many hobos and scary-looking people, I think my little brothers and I almost got jumped...still not sure what scared the guys off, as it looked like they were going to cut us off around this corner or something...
Atlanta-I like, traffic sucks but not much else...though the tower records closed now so i don't know about finding music and such (at least with the selection that tower had).... Tampa-I generally like florida cities...not really sure why....though friends who live there (in a suburb) say crime is terrible in the city, but their suburbs were really nice Ft Lauderdale/Pompano-love these places...great restaurants and always boardwalks on the beaches...probably for sentimental reasons as well... Miami-hot as hell, the sights and the temp...though i was there in june...i generally liked it though... Charlotte-growing rapidly...the roads are terrible for following directions (i guess because of the rapid development)...it's ok if you like modern stuff and nice new restaurants/delis/hip-organic food places DC/Williamsburg VA-wburg is kinda cool just because its so different, and there is some good cheap food and stuff...i liked DC though only spent a day there...but did the tourist thing, and enjoyed it more than i thought i would Montreal-haven't been there in many years (and wasn't legal at the time), but i liked it a lot then...and now that i like music and beer, i'd probably love it....winter is cold though.... Akron/Cleveland-eh...I went to Cleveland in the winter, and it was a dirty-looking city...Akron ain't too bad, but nothing to go for (i have family up there)... Panama City, FLA-redneck riviera-true to its nickname...though i enjoyed myself there, it wasn't because of the city... Jacksonville-...I'd rather live north or south of it...just don't really like it for some reason, but maybe i just haven't been anywhere nice... Savannah-home for most of my life...like it and hate it at the same time...not good for music scene...fun for nice slow summers...mosquitoes and sand gnats are horrible in fall/winter/spring...luckily they melt in the summer.... Hilton head SC-posh...golf....tennis...private schools...nicely mowed grass...BMWs....you get the idea.... any city in Tennesee- i have hated....can't even remember which ones i hit...just seems to be no point to going there...lots of orange clothing is all i remember... Key West....loved it as a kid...fishing is great...gets boring after a while though...but would recommend it for some beach vacationing no opinion yet on: Dallas LA Orlando |

Hartford - shithole Boston - Cool city, worst traffic in the whole country Springfield MA - Worst DRIVERS in the whole country New York City - Awesome in most parts but hectic Providence - semi shithole Columbus - Cool but drug infested Chicago - Very cool Boise - a very strange place Portland - Coolest cleanest city I've ever been to in the USA San Francisco - Cool and shitty at the same time LA - Cool and shitty at the same time Santa Cruz - One of the coolest places in California. Simply amazing Santa Barbara - Waaay too posh Simi Valley - Coolest place in proximity to LA, Probably the most laid back place in California San Diego - Awesome but people party too much, and the government sucks Las Vegas - Fucking horrible Phoenix - Huge buildings everywhere, no people, wtf?

i am doing only local stuff now, since i need to get about 4 hours rest, saw Slayer and am beat, will do the rest tomorrow
DC - first off depends on what road you enter from "ie Montgomery Co. Maryland into Northwest" = (Wisconsin Ave., super ritzy, heads down to Georgetown, super rich yuppies and diplomats) (Connecticut Ave., old residential area, My dad grewup down there, heads toward Ft Reno and the Zoo) both of those are east of Rock Creek Park, west of the park (Georgia Ave. lower class residential, some tough spots until you reach Howard University and the Hospital, then the hipster area blossoms in the U Street Corridor/Cardoza "The Black Cat, DC9, 611 Florida, The Warehouse Nextdoor, and the 930 Club", after that the museums are nice, very scenic, despite the foul air of politics, they have a new mayor now so we'll see what occurs now, it's a good city, just either too rough or too ritzy, but there are spots that are nice Baltimore - don't go down much(i say down despite the fact balto is clearly northeast from where i am,weird), the Talking Head club is closed now, i am not sure where the really experimental bands will go, Ottobar north near John Hopkins hospital is a good club, been told it can be rougher then DC, but i haven't experienced anything yet, the Inner Harbor is beautiful, they have the Aquarium, some good eateries, and a not too bad salt water fishy smell The Beaches of Delaware and Maryland - will mention as a whole city cause i have spent a long time there during the summers, and it gets crowded Williamsville (very redneck, but secluded, where i have stayed for many summers) Fenwick Island (small, quiet, great subs, pizza, and mexican seafood, the old Music Emporium closed 5 years ago, but they were quite cool, they got my copy of Murray Street about 2 weeks before the official release, and when they folded got a bunch of promo cds cheap from them including a promo copy of Experimental Jet Set) Ocean City (busiest, can get a population of 320k plus during the peak season months, lots of good food and really the only reason to go, other wise it's rather boring, too many getaway weekenders, even the super long boardwalk isn't exciting anymore, with the exception of putt-putt golf, there really isn't much too do) Bethany Beach (small beach boardwalk, some good food, toooooooo many catholics, i am not kidding, it's really a super family friendly beach where there are too many kids running around, (me when i was younger, and all my mom's friends {read 4} and their kids, like about 30 of them, they need to learn about birth control fast) Dewey Beach (college hangout, frat stuff, but they have two music clubs that get mostly southern rock, one time though fucking Steve Shelley came down with Two Dollar Guitar and played the Rusty Rudder, and i didn't know about it until months after) Rehoboth Beach (great main street, great little villas on the side streets, most varied food on the Del-Mar coastline "French, German, Russian, Thai, fusion", large Gay population, so a lot of antique shop, art stores, and some heavy drinks and karaoke at the Purple Parrot bar, the old Kemp Mill records is gone but i bought most of my first SY albums there, as well as my first Sleater-Kinney ones as well, best all around town of all mentioned, even if the beach itself is always packed) |
